Did you ever read the system requirements for Spore?
What's that no... ok then here they are:
Windows XP/Vista
Processor 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
RAM XP: 512 MB / Vista: 768 MB
Graphics card 128 MB with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
Hard disk drive space At least 6 GB
When using a PC with an on-board (aka built-in or "shared") graphics chipset, the specs bump up to:
* Intel Integrated Chipset, 945GM or above.
* 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.
* 768 MB RAM
-------------
Translation: Minimum System requirements using those OS's will be around:
1.5 Ghrz proccessor. (BTW this is PC Wii uses PowerPC architecture, also spore uses Vodoo I believe.)
512 RAM to run it smoothly 256 will run it well. (Note that Ps3 only has 256 ram allocated to gaming. This is where recoding to use drm comes in *remember me mentioning that?*)
128mb is nice for GPU req, but Wii's GPU clocks at 243 MHz pwnd much?
You can thank our friends at homebrew for that - but nintendo may have ways of using this tech to make it much more effective that 243 or at least run more effectively. Let's not forget the eDRAM which is the deal maker for most if not all video games now-a-days. I mean journalists seem to be catching wind of this just today, I saw before at n4g a article about this subject and the PS3.
I should go on more but I'll stop here for a bit to note that this is Spore not Crysis.
Sadly it's not known how many shaded pixels can be pumped out, but if Mario Galaxy can be put out there at 60fps without the Wii breaking a sweat I don't see why Fatal Frame IV would be any different, and we all know that looks better than Spore, but Spore has more details on the screen you argue, I say good point, and lean back towards Mario Galaxy, there are enough pics of lava and metal luster and mario and stars falling and so on and so forth on these boards, so I won't even look for it.
Lastly: Let's just wait and see, my point isn't if this will a spinoff - it's how the hell would you know.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
